Donna is a compassionate and thoughtful therapist who creates a comfortable space to talk openly about difficult and deeply personal experiences. I appreciate that she listens carefully, asks meaningful questions, and encourages me to look at situations from different perspectives. Therapy is such a personal process, and I value having someone who is supportive while also willing to challenge my thinking when appropriate. I have found our sessions helpful and meaningful, and I appreciate the care and attention she brings to our work together.
